White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson may have given President Trump a clean bill of health–declaring his overall health “excellent,” but that didn’t stop the media from peppering him with questions about Trump’s mental health.

The questions from the White House Press Corps ranged from whether Trump could have early onset Alzheimers, dementia, the 25th Amendment to his weight, cholesterol and potential drug addiction.

The questions about Trump’s mental fitness came despite the fact that he scored a perfect 100 percent on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) – a 30 question task created by medical professionals to test for dementia.

Jackson said the president could stand to lose some weight and eat better, but had no major concerns about his health.
